Why each option

While highly recommended for stability and reproducibility, specifying a module version is not strictly mandatory for referencing a module from the Terraform Module Registry.

ATrue

This statement is false because Terraform will implicitly use the latest version if no version is specified, though this is not a best practice.

BFalseCorrect

While it is strongly recommended to specify a version constraint when referencing a module from the Terraform Module Registry for stability and reproducibility, Terraform will use the latest available version if no version argument is provided. However, this practice is discouraged because it can lead to unexpected changes if the module author publishes breaking changes.
